As far as Shane is concerned this is a temporary arrangement, but Christy begins to feel at home on Cork’s working-class north side. As he makes friends and begins to let the community in, he also reconnects with his past through his seemingly more corrupting extended family, despite Shane’s efforts to steer him away from this crowd.
